Issue with proot-distro: Utility 'file' is not installed error (Solved)
Hello everyone,
I've been using proot-distro successfully up until this morning (September 30th, 2024). However, when I tried to run proot-distro, I received the following error:
Utility 'file' is not installed. Cannot continue.
I initially searched through the Discord server, Google, and used Perplexity to find a solution. Luckily, Perplexity provided the correct fix, and the issue is now resolved.
Solution:
To fix this error, you need to install the missing file utility. Simply run the following command in Termux:
pkg install file
After installing file, the problem was resolved. No further help is needed, but I wanted to share the solution in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
Thank you!
